HG 1/100 #23 VS Astray - Nebula Blitz Gundam(2009)

The Gundam Virsago from After War Gundam X arrives in the HG 1/100 lineup, faithfully recreating one of the series’ most iconic and intimidating mobile suits. Piloted by Shagia Frost, the Virsago combines overwhelming firepower, unique transformation gimmicks, and a sinister design that sets it apart from traditional Gundam units.

This kit captures the Virsago’s distinctive silhouette with impressive accuracy, featuring its characteristic backpack wings, extended torso mechanism, and powerful arm-mounted Strike Claws. The model is equipped with a linked transformation system that allows the torso to extend while the rear wings deploy, recreating the dramatic Mega Sonic Cannon firing mode seen in the anime. This signature feature gives the completed model an impressive display presence and highlights the unit’s role as a devastating long-range combat machine.

The forearm-mounted Strike Claws can be opened and deployed, allowing builders to recreate the Virsago’s unique close-combat attacks. Combined with the model’s articulation, these movable weapons provide a variety of dynamic display options ranging from aggressive melee poses to long-range bombardment stances.

Special attention has been given to the mechanical details throughout the kit. The chest features clear parts that showcase internal mechanical elements, while select components such as the head antenna utilize metallic-finished parts to enhance the premium appearance of the completed model. The included beam saber can be stored on the rear armor when not in use, preserving the mobile suit’s streamlined silhouette.

In addition to its standard weaponry, the kit includes two original Strike Shooter weapons, expanding its arsenal and offering even more display possibilities. Color-molded parts and foil stickers help achieve an impressive finish straight out of the box, while the detailed surface design provides an excellent foundation for panel lining and custom painting projects.

With its unique transformation gimmicks, menacing design, and powerful weapon systems, the HG 1/100 Gundam Virsago remains one of the most distinctive mobile suits from After War Gundam X and a must-have addition for fans of the series.

With its combination of clear effect parts, transformation potential, and customization versatility, the MG Universe Booster is an excellent addition for Build Fighters fans and builders who enjoy expanding their MG kits with unique support equipment and creative configurations.
